FAQ

Update resource

pcs resource update resourcname variablename=newvalue

Move resource to node

pcs resource move RES NODE

Show default resource stickiness

pcs resource default

Set resource stickiness

pcs resource meta <resource_id> resource-stickiness=100

and to check:

pcs resource show <resource_id>

Or better yet:

crm_simulate -Ls

Undo resource move

pcs constraint --full

Location Constraints:
  Resource: FOO
    Enabled on: santest-a (score:INFINITY) (role: Started) (id:cli-prefer-FOO)

pcs constraint remove cli-prefer-FOO

pcs status: Error: cluster is not currently running on this node

Don't panic until after

sudo pcs status

show detailed resources

pcs resource --full

stop node (standby)

The following command puts the specified node into standby mode. The specified node is no longer able to host resources. Any resources currently active on the node will be moved to another node. If you specify the --all, this command puts all nodes into standby mode.

pcs cluster standby node-1

or

pcs node standby

on the node itself

and undo this with

pcs cluster unstandby node-1

or

pcs node unstandby

set maintenance mode

This sets the cluster in maintenance mode, so it stops managing the resources

pcs property set maintenance-mode=true

Error: cluster is not currently running on this node

pcs cluster start

Remove a constraint

pcs constraint list --full

to identify the constraints and then

pcs constraint remove <whatever-constraint-id>
